On the board is a socket chip with a white label on top that looks
like the only thing that COULD be an eeprom. Th rest are either very
large, or soddered on the board.

The chip reads	07957
			89061
			MR1.2 (red dot)

I looked on the Apollo controller I got this from (4500), and there
we're 2 socket chips (both from western dig corp). I was hoping to
just remove a chip from the Apollo and pop it into the other <g>
If life could just be that simple.

Now, how would one 'fudge' it? I don't own an eeprom burner, nar
seen one IRL.

Friend of mine has a hp C2203A 670mb HPIB disk storage system.
Holds 3 HPIB drives. He 'popped' in a 120 and its workin great
next to the 2 300s.

I've got another C2203A box, but it lacks controller cards...sigh.
